Day 6: Golinhac →Conques

On day 6, we reconfigured everything; we bought breakfast the day before and prepared for walking from 8 instead of the usual 10-11. Hadn’t it been for Knuts increasingly bad foot, we could have made it anywhere.

Kari og Knut goes France!

Parents away, now three days in Frankfurt, waiting for the Interrail-tickets to activate. Kari is on the job on acquiring a place for the night.

Day 17: Weather craze

And from 35°C, the temperature violently dropped when the whole sky fell down on New York City. Little did we know that the hailstorm looked like this from above (shot by Dahni Jones), and little did we know that this wet and kind of romantic “NYC feeling” would cause fires, power outages and destruction in and around Newark Airport, which again would create great delays and even airplane cancellations from the entire world. Butterfly effect? Oh yes!

Quote from the local news media:
Jersey Central Power & Light reported roughly 10,500 customers had no power Wednesday night, while about 9,600 PSE&G customers were without service. However, roughly half of PSE&G’s outages were caused by a traffic accident.

DelayedLittle did we know that we’d be directly inflicted by this storm – not only by getting wet downtown and buying another umbrella, but by delaying our flight with 5 hours, 56 minutes and ticking.

Too late for coffeeIt’s soon 02:08 in the night, and our plane is supposed to take off, 6 hours and 8 minutes after schedule. Kari has run out of juice and I am closing in as well. Too bad. Our flight was finely tuned for 20 o’ clock, giving us the Best Possible sleep/wake Cyclus™ with a short, yet pretty natural night and a very early, yet pretty realistic morning. Now it is totally fucked; we’ll be departing late in the night, and arriving in the end of the day.

Oh well. Here comes jet lag.

America – it has been an interesting experience. See you soon!
